Feature Setup Windows

	Table 3-3	Camera Settings Window Options (continued)
	Option		Description
	Sensitivity		Designates how the iris opening in the IP camera lens adjusts when auto iris
			mode is enabled. As sensitivity increases, the auto iris closes more to reduce
			the light level and increase the depth of field in bright environments.
			However, a high sensitivity may cause the image to oscillate between bright
			and dim. In this situation, reduce the sensitivity to improve the image quality.
	White Balance Mode		Choose one the following white balance modes from the drop-down list:
			• Manual—Choose this option if you want to set the white balance by
			using the White Balance slider in the Camera Video/Control window as
			described in Chapter 4, “Viewing Live Video.”
			• Auto—Suitable for most conditions that do not have special lighting
			• Indoor (incandescent)—Suitable for indoor conditions
			• Fluorescent (white light)—Suitable for indoor conditions with
			fluorescent white lighting
			• Fluorescent (yellow light)—Suitable for indoor conditions with
			fluorescent yellow lighting
			• Outdoor—Suitable for outdoor conditions.
			The default setting is Auto.
	Day Night Filter Area
	Filter Type		Choose the day/night mode for the IP camera:
			• Day—IP camera always remains in day mode.
			• Night—IP camera always remains in night mode.
			• Auto—IP camera automatically switches between day and night mode
			based on the lighting condition threshold that you specify.
	Day to Night Threshold		If the Switch Mode option is set to Auto, choose the value that specifies the
			relative light threshold at which the IP camera switches from day to night
			mode. A lower value designates that the IP camera switches from day to
			night mode in brighter conditions. A higher value designated that the IP
			camera switches modes in darker conditions.
			The default value is 10.
	Night to Day Threshold		If the Switch Mode option is set to Auto, choose the value that specifies the
			relative light threshold at which the IP camera switches from night to day
			mode. A lower value designates that the IP camera switches from night to
			day mode in darker conditions. A higher value designated that the IP camera
			switches modes in lighter conditions.
			The default value is 15.
	Enable Night Vision		Check this check box if you want to configure the times that the camera
	Schedule		switches to and from night mode.
			Enabling this schedule disables the Filter Type option.
			Note If you configure a schedule, make sure that the time on the IP camera
			is set correctly.
	Start Time		Enter the time, in 24 hour format, that the camera enables its night filter.
